The Great Wildebeest Migration - the annual migration of giant herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania and Kenya is a truly spectacular event. Over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems in search of green pasture, in a regular pattern. This is surely one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.

Meet the Sonjo Tribe of Tanzania

-

Between Lake Natron and the North Serengeti are the Sonjo, little known but with an impressive cultural wealth. The term Sonjo is the name given to the people by the Maasai. Group members prefer to call themselves the Batemi people. The Sonjo people speak Sonjo, a Bantu language. They refer to it as Kitemi or Gitemi. The Sonjo are known for their use of irrigation systems in agriculture. They have consequently been linked by some historians with the Engaruka complex, situated some 60 miles to the southeast. The Sonjo also maintain terraced village sites, albeit of considerably more rudimentary form than what is found at Engaruka #Tanzania  #TanzaniaUnlimited #SaturdayExpress #culturalappropriation

At 14, the young Masai participates in a ceremony during which he is circumcised and becomes Morane. In the days leading up to circumcision, he is dressed in black from head to toe and his face is painted white. That's when he leaves his tribe with other boys his age.  Young boys go out to the bush to graze cattle. They learn to dominate their fear of wild beasts and must be able to protect their flock. Linked to life at death with his companions, he acquires the right to carry a spear and a shield and hunt to survive. On his return, another ceremony consecrated him full-fledged man. He becomes an elder and joins his village to get married.
